Zum weißen Rauchfangkehrer

Fun traditional Viennese restaurant where the staff is all dressed up and the decor is very antique. Of course it’s quite touristy, on the Saturday night we were there most the visitors were foreign, but I’m sure there’s something for everyone. We reserved a table in the piano room with live piano music playing nearby. Regardless of your order there were a few free accompaniments including pumpkin seeds (both sweet and salty), cabbage soup, a variety of different breads (these were particularly delicious), and some sweets at the end. We had the veal schnitzel and the pork neck as mains as well as strudel and kaiserschmarnn for dessert. The schnitzel was perfectly cooked, super tender and blended well with the lingonberry jam and potato salad. The pork neck was absolutely incredible, I can highly recommend. Super tender with a delicious Piri piri infused sauce that was perfect with the potato dumplings. I had this with the Trumer Pilsner which was lovely and our very friendly waiter brought me an extra little one on the house which was a very nice touch. As for desserts, both came with a sour cream ice cream which was a bit like a yogurt, and paired well. The strudel was nice and warm and pancakes had a great flavour and came on a bed of plums. If you like mushy textured fruit you’ll like these desserts a lot. Overall I had a lovely time at this restaurant and it was a fun visit! The menu tells the story of the restaurant and where they source all their produce locally. We were charged a fee for the piano player as well as a cover charge perhaps for the reservation so just be aware of that. I think this is definitely a worthy addition to your Vienna itinerary!

Very traditional restaurant in the city centre, good service and tasty food. Great carpaccio variation starter. Excellent wine list with some good Austrian wines, we enjoyed a blaufrankisch by reumann. Interior quite bright and the room we were in was pine panelled, a bit reminiscent of ski lodge.

Highly recommend a reservation - there was a que outside. Nicely decorated traditional place with a history. We stayed next to the piano and it was perfect. The complementary sourkraut ? Soup which was complimentary was greaaat. Food and drinks just perfect. Staff was amazing and welcoming. You cannot go wrong with the place

We stumbled on this restaurant by accident while looking for a place to have lunch. The food was delicious, the selection of breads for the butter service was great, the main courses come quick and are perfectly cooked. I especially enjoyed the venison ragu which was perfect on a cold January day.

Lovely experience at Zum Weiven. The schnitzel was very good, and the chicken with chestnut was excellent as well. The mushroom soup was especially delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a relaxed meal. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would happily return.
